8x10 back in my lifetime??

Holy crap... Someone call a patent attorney! We are onto something here!!

[matthew klos]

Never happen. I have used both the mamyia systems and hasselblad and the newest H systems are really nice for digital.

Well,

we're all to blame for the apparent lack of progress.

what we should have insisted upon, is that painters and sketchers do their work faster and more accurately...

certainly, a computer could/should have been programmed to replace these people?


clearly, they need to be sensitized...

For what it's worth, I ran across this by accident:

[Steve M Hostetter]

never heard of an 8x8" camera ,,, Is that a big Hasselblad or sompin?

[Jay DeFehr]

I'm sure it's a military application, for now, but like so many other technologies, it will eventually trickle down to humans.

[Chris Strobel]

it will eventually trickle down to humans.

And then to our cell phones

Very close to the size of 9x9 aerial reconaissance film, so might be adaptable to some
of the same mapping and espionage lens systems currently in use. Would allow them to
do more remotely, without actual spy pilots way up there. Planes and drones are apparently still used for certain critical work and even more detail than satellites are capable of. Some of the lenses are made in town here and have a league of precision
utterly unaffordable to us mere mortals.

Here's probably how it will happen: Kodak will form a joint venture with Genentech.
They will in fact develop a protein circuit in a petri dish which merely has to be
peeled off then sliced, and will resemble a Wratten filter. You will put it in an ordinary antique film holder, then swipe it afterwards through a reader device. Each film size will of course require proprietary software - they'll rig it that way so you have to buy the software and reader from them. The probem with 8x10 is that we'll have to pool an order together for at least 2500 of them. Once this has been accomplished, and as soon as each of us receives delivery, we'll receive notice that the necessary software has been canceled. So then we'll take our miracle paper-thin digital devices to the film trimmer and make four 4x5 out of each of them. That failing, they can be boiled like noodles to retrieve the gelatin they were grown on,
and this can be reused to make carbon tissue, or perhaps seasoned to be eaten
like ordinary Jello during times of famine.

LMAO, yes that is so Kodak, i will think of this scenerio everytime i have to respool film for my kodak medalist. lol
